The Walker Bulldog was a light tank designed to replace the M26 Chaffee. It saw limited combat with the US Army in the Korean conflict and extensive use by the ARVN in the Vietnamese War.
This model represents an M41 with the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force. Watch out Godzilla!
In the late 70s I was into tanks and had a minor collection of models. I'm posting these shots for chuckles and grins...

Not sure what year this one is, possibly a 1915. Its some sort of specialty version as well with loads of extra seating, maybe a shuttle vehicle.
The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, T‑Model Ford, 'Model T Ford', or T) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908 to May 27, 1927.[1][2] It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.[3] The Ford Model T was named the world's most influential car of the 20th century in an international poll.[4]
The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. The first production Model T was produced on August 12, 1908[5] and left the factory on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan. On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.[6]
There were several cars produced or prototyped by Henry Ford from the founding of the company in 1903 until the Model T was introduced. Although he started with the Model A, there were not 19 production models (A through T); some were only prototypes. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Model S,[7] an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up was the Ford Model A (rather than any Model U). Company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Henry wanted to start all over again with the letter A.
The Model T was the first automobile mass-produced on moving assembly lines with completely interchangeable parts, marketed to the middle class.[citation needed] Henry Ford said of the vehicle:
"I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one – and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces."
Above summary is from Wikipedia
•The Model T was introduced on Oct. 1, 1908. It had a 20-horsepower, four-cylinder engine, reached a top speed of about 45 miles per hour, got about 13 to 21 miles per gallon of gasoline and weighed 1,200 pounds. It was the ninth of Henry Ford's production cars.
•More than 15,000,000 Model T's were built and sold. A modest ceremony on May 26, 1927, marked the formal end of Model T production.
•The first models were produced at a factory on Piquette Avenue in Detroit. Beginning in 1910, Model T's were built at a new Highland Park (Michigan) plant.
•Henry Ford's initiation of mass production of vehicles on the moving assembly line led to lower car prices and the $5 workday.
•The car was introduced with a price tag of $850. The Model T later sold for as little as $260, without extras, because of production savings Henry Ford passed on to customers.
•Henry Ford called the Model T "the universal car," a low-cost, reliable vehicle that could be maintained easily and could successfully travel the poor roads of the era.
•The Model T came in nine body styles, all on the same chassis.
•"Lizzie" was one of the most popular of the dozens of nicknames for the Model T.
•In 1914, Ford, with 13,000 employees, produced about 300,000 cars while 299 other companies with 66,350 employees produced about 280,000 vehicles.

She liked some of the prior stuff I'd done featuring a model with an outfit such as this, so I happened to pull this outfit out of the suitcase I use to store random things that models may or may not want to pose in.
Strobist details: 285HV into a stripbox with the outer diffuser removed but the grid to the left front. 285HV with a purple gel into a octobox with the diffuser removed but the grid still on to the right rear. All optically triggered by the 144PC with black slide film over the front in my E-M5 Mark II's hotshoe. I was kinda standing over her, with a nice piece of satiny fabric.
Sunday I did a model shoot for two models from the Riverside area. We shot at my studio and at a few outdoor locations around Palm Desert. I think it went pretty well, we got lots of great photos and had a fun time doing it. These guys were a couple of characters, lots of fun to work with.

On the right is the barn door style camera drive I sold under the Astrokits name back in the eighties. It tracks the sky to allow time exposures. The larger drive is a high precision quartz crystal stepper motor model that works with lenses up to 300mm for up to 15 minutes, better than some telescopes. The polar alignment scope was purchased from Carton Optical in Japan, the same model used at the time by Astro-Physics.
